More cards....



50 down.....

50 more to go. My goal by tomorrow night is to have 100 of these boxes put together and ready to go into the store by Tuesday afternoon. Alot of work but so worth it in the end.

Breast cancer awareness.....

Below are the boxes that will be for sale again this year for $2.00 with all proceeds going to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, I think with hersheys nuggets inside. Our local CIBC Run for the Cure is Sunday, October 5th at Del Crary Park in Peterborough, Ont. I'd like to donate the proceeds in memory of someone again this year, I still have to figure that out.



The following article was published in the Campbellford newspaper at this time last year. The total amount raised from the sale of these boxes and cards was $380.00. I'm hoping to raise at least $200.00 this year. These will be sold in the
downtown area of Cobourg. Click on the article below to read last years story.

Random pictures of the day.....

Flowers in my garden.




A small amount of the beach glass that i've collected so far this summer on the west beach.You can't tell by the picture, but the large piece in the middle measures approx. 4"x3".



Top half of the pantry in my kitchen, I really like how the old canning jars look in here.

What I woke up to this morning...





This is the tree branch that fell on the house just after 11:00 last night. The noise of it breaking was so loud I thought that there had been a car accident. Hydro and Ontario Line Clearing were here for about three hours this morning taking the rest of it down.
I took the picture of the spiderweb this morning just after the rain started to fall.

Down by the lake.....


I went for a walk down to the lake the other night to look for beach glass and to take some pictures. Someone told me that there would be hundreds of Monarch butterflys down there as they are getting ready to migrate. I walked down there and I found a grand total of three. oh well, gives me a reason to walk down there again, maybe tonight.
